The cosplay, as a subculture, is a complex and stratified media and socio-cultural
phenomenon. The approach chosen in the study of some dimensions of the cosplay is that
of the sociology of youth cultures. The first dimension analyzed concerns the distribution of
symbolic capital (and in particular of subcultural capital) among the members of the
cosplay groups, determining hierarchies and status. Secondly, we explored the social
dimension of the phenomenon, using Georg Simmel’s sociology and, in detail, the concept
of ‛sociability’ and the dynamics between individualization and homologation. Other
dimensions explored concern fandom and media enthusiasm, the mediatization of
experience, identity performances. The goal of the paper is to restore the complexity of
cosplay, which is configured as a place of consumption, identity building and social
interaction. Our analysis also focuses on the identity status of cosplayers, emphasizing their
ability to produce performances in which the relationship with the characters of the beloved
cultural heritage (manga and anime) is dramatized and staged.

This work focuses on the increasingly presence of foreign students in the Italian schools.
Starting from the concept of globalization, going through multiculturalism, we arrive at the
construction of an identity based on the education for inclusion. The democratic society of
inclusion is achieved by creating a context in which everyone, regardless of ethnic background,
culture, religion or income, can really feel part of a human community responsible
and aware of its own rights and duties. This contributes to the evolution from the concept of
monoculture society toward the multicultural one. Education, therefore, being a continuous
process accompanying the growth of the people in time and space, aims to encourage the
development of its own potential and, at the same time, offers new perspectives to look at
the phenomenon of foreign students with greater transparency, evaluating it as an added
value.

For many years, the European education policies have recognized the importance and value
of creating a real "Europe of citizens" by implementing specific strategies and actions,
based on non-formal education pathways for youth. In this direction, the "Research-based
Analysis of Erasmus Plus: Youth in Action" (RAY) international project analyzes the
mobility experiences of young people, promoted by the "Erasmus Plus: Youth in Action"
program. This article presents the main results of “RAY Italia”, a research program
included in RAY, on the development of citizenship practices and skills of the participants
in European mobility projects.

The present study investigates young peoples’ attitudes towards gender equality across 14
countries who participated in The International Civic and Citizenship Study (ICCS) 2016.
The main aim of the present study is to verify whether students’ background variables,
civic knowledge and civic self-efficacy contribute to explaining the attitudes towards gender
equality. The relationship between these variables was evaluated using a structural
equation modeling approach. Data from 50,000 students representative of grade 8 population
from 14 European countries who participated in ICCS 2016 were analysed. A mediation
analysis with structural equation modeling assessed the direct and indirect effects of
the immigrant background and socio-economic and cultural background on attitudes towards
gender through the mediation of civic knowledge and civic self-efficacy. The results
showed the role of civic knowledge in mediating the effect of socio-economic background
on gender equality. These findings suggest that school policy invests on improving civic
knowledge at school.
